The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

so many great choices I found voting really difficult. still need to give out rep, though my main vote went to Camulus - so much though seems to have gone behind this, a simple challenge map, great stuff.

my other votes went to Chyogamsidyo Harbor which, despite the american spelling :p i found to be really striking and benefitted from its simplicity. the third vote went to The New Galilean Commwealth; I love the 3D effect in this, though am intrigued by that crater in the middle of the map - should we call the river police? :p who cares, it looks great.

i really enjoyed working on my entry (yay, someone voted for me!) and look forward to next months entry

19 people, where did all these people come from? Too many good maps this month to only use three votes.

-D-

People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

1. Cloud's Rest - Shepherd: I liked the concept, the line-work and the overall composition of this piece quite a bit.
2. Deep Ruins - Chashio: for originality as well as style.
3. The Isle of Aedenis - vorropohaiah: it was simple yet elegant.

Honorable Mention:

4. The Kingdom of Balthraia - LonewandererD
5. Camulus - Seraphine_Harmonium
6. The Shattered Realms of Altostratus - Schwarzchruez (had this piece been finished it would have made my top three)
